Dragon face...

thx for your comments, was quite a small chap but he was very brave & let me get real close for probably ten minutes.

small amount of crop, canon 450, ef100 (no ext. tube), max focus & slid camera along banister until in focus.

taken in New England USA whilst on hols, looking forward to spring next year as they seem to be thin n the ground now.
 
Nice photo, but what a ugly creature, looks like it's got a baboon's a$$ for a face ;)! I think I need to stop looking at insect macros - freaking me out now!
 
thanks, nearly to your standard Swag :) I am totally obsessed with these guys, I could easily spend a whole day loitering a big lake & really enjoy myself (obviously with wine in hand)

we have some enormous 8" long guys down here still floating around but they are real nervous, the little ones are not so.
 
Great shot, loads of detail in there.
 
thx everyone, i find a particular cologne seems to work, it attracts then stuns them into position, worked on the wife too :D

same guy but not as close....
